Bunnings shoppers score free hidden gift cards in stores

Bunnings shoppers all over Australia have revealed how they scored free gift cards and gifts at their local stores, just by doing one thing.

Customers have flooded social media with posts revealing how they picked up the surprise gift cards after finding a “golden” bone amongst the shelves.

The tokens were hidden by Bunnings store staff in the aisles of selected stores over the past weekend to celebrate the launch of the retail giant’s new pet range.

A card attached to the token reads: “You found the Golden Bone! Take me to the Service Desk to claim your free prize.”

Two customers said they were stunned to find the freebies.

“Went to check out the new pet range at Bunnings today, spotted this ‘Golden Bone’, had no idea what it was but picked it up and read the tag,” said one customer on the Markdown Addicts Australia Facebook page.

“Unsure if this is just my local Bunnings doing this, or others – but worth keeping your eye out for this or something similar at yours!”

Another lucky customer wrote: “Thanks for the Bunnings tip!

Took my boy to check out the new pet range and he scored a £20 gift card and ball.”

Said a third: “Some stores have a Golden Hammer and or Golden Gnome as well.”
